"In cosmology, string theory 'packages physical models in a way that’s
easier to think about,' Silverstein said. It may take centuries to tie
together all these loose strings to weave a coherent picture, but young
researchers like Beem aren’t bothered a bit. His generation never
thought string theory was going to solve everything. 'We’re not stuck,'
he said. 'It doesn’t feel like we’re on the verge of getting it all
sorted, but I know more each day than I did the day before – and so
presumably we’re getting somewhere.”"
